Won't go past 110 km/h after a crash
Hi guys
I have a honda cbr 125r(2004) and i got into a accident with it about 6 months ago (broke my hand and a leg),i didnt ride it for that period of time.
Now when i started riding again it wont go past 110 km/h(befor the accident it would go 130 no problem but now it struggles to go even 110) even if i go downhill it just can't.
Cleaned the carburator and changed the air filter looked for any leaks and there isnt any , checked my valve clearance and its okey , my speedometer is working fine i tested that too, so now i don't know what to test anymore the bike runs fine, starts up fine even when cold soo yeaa.
Thanks in advance for and help I'm new to motorcycle and kinda bad at english so sorry.

Your English is perfect! 👍
There might be something bent from crash that's adding extra friction. Measure:
- brake-rotors run-out
- brake lever/pedal dragging and not returning
- measure drag from wheel-bearings
- front/rear wheel alignment

Okey i did everything today and here it is:
break-rotors are within spec, break lever is returning, how do i measure wheel-bearing drag ? and the wheels are aligned.

Took my exhaust apart it's pretty clean
At outer edge of tyre, grab and push down to spin wheel. Does it spin easily and smoothly? Can attach weight to tyre and measure how much force is needed to spin wheel. Probably not needed.
Repeat for other wheel
Spin the front wheel when it's off the ground - it should spin freely. Rear wheel as well, you should not feel any tight spots. If there's any drag the wheel hub will get very hot after a few minutes of riding.
Bent fork tubes might have resulted in a bent yoke as well, which could certainly cause pressure on the front wheel bearings.

Yoke was bent and i didn't replace it, new forks didnt want to go(one went in and other wouldn't match with upper yoke part) in sooo we kinda heated it and snaped it(by snapped i mean heated it and hit it a čot of times and tryed to fit in the forks) in place back so forks go in kinda smooth now
